Every community has a story worth carrying.
Through Stories We Carry, our national community co-design initiative, we bring people together to transform lived experiences into beautiful scarf collections that inspire connection, raise awareness and create lasting impact.
How Stories We Carry Works
We Invite a Community
Each Stories We Carry project is created with a specific community or cause. Projects may focus on:
The Community Creates Together
People contribute in whatever way feels meaningful to them. This might include:
No artistic experience is needed. Every contribution helps shape the final scarf.
We Co-Design One Collection
Our creative team carefully weaves together the community's contributions into one collaborative scarf. No two collections are ever the same.
Each one reflects the strength, diversity and lived experiences of the people who helped create it.
We Share It With the World
The completed collection is unveiled through a community celebration or online launch.
Scarves then become available to purchase, helping raise awareness, spark conversations and support future community projects.
